Smart Travelers Wear Compression Socks
They may not be the best looking, but compression socks are a no-frills life-saving measure everyone should include in their wardrobe. Remaining inactive for extended periods can cause a few problems to your health, especially during a long flight.
One of the most common is deep vein thrombosis, which is the formation of blood clots, specifically in your lower leg or thigh area. It doesn’t cause a lot of pain, but when the clots break off and go somewhere else in the body, they can create serious issues.
Aside from compression socks, which help increase your circulation, we suggest you get up about every two hours, even if it’s only near your seat, just to move your legs a bit.
If you can walk a little up and down the aisle, that’s even better. Being a smart traveler is all about finding a balance that works for you!
